Hi April, Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to try cables. I can do them on regular needles but haven't had the chance to try on my knitting loom. Seems I remember a you tube video on them, you might could…
i have tried to do cables on my knifty knitter but it doesnt seem to work! i have a knitting rake with close pins and it works great but i just cant seem to make cables on the round or long loom knifty knitters!!! can anyone do this? am i missing…
Welcome to knitideas Lauralee and to our loom group. I love loom knitting and am working on several projects right now. Can't wait to see your projects. Happy knitting!

Hi Evelyn, thank you for the welcome. I posted some of the things I've made on the knitter. I am looking forward to learning some tips and sharing the little that I know with others.
As I am leaving this comment, a slide show of your work is playing, very nice.
I'm glad you wrote to me - I forgot that I joined this group - and I like it - I hope I saved my user name and password. I'm knittinig hats and mittens for Christmas - I started out with socks, but in my usual style, I bought yarn for hats - and there was yarn left over so I started some mittens, and then had to buy more yarn to finish the mittens - and that's the way it goes for me... So many projects, so little time - ahhhhh
I'm doing a prayer shawl for a friend in Canada. My Grandsons are wanting caps for the winter, so that will be next. I also need to start on my Christmas dishcloths, I always make a few for family and friends. So much to knit, so little time LOL!!!
I have various looms, provo and others one is adjustable and can do much more than the provos, can't remember the brand. Right now I am crocheting madly to finish Christmas presents on time. No loom projects at the present.

I use a small blue 24 peg round loom. The gauge is too large for everyday socks but just right for the at home slipper type. Provo crafts make the round looms.
What kind of loom do you use to make socks on? I would love to learn to make socks. I have a beautiful long wooden loom with pegs very close together for a tight knit, but I have yet to find a round one like that.
